ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The college postseason game formerly known as the Florida Citrus Bowl became the Capital One Bowl on Tuesday.

Capital One, a Virginia-based consumer lending company, took over as the top sponsor of the Jan. 1 bowl game after co-sponsor, the Florida Citrus Commission, dropped out after 19 years.
We had a discussion on Houston's new Minute Maid Field, so I thought this was of some interest. I'm sorry, but Citrus and Florida go together and like peanut butter and jelly and this just sounds a ton more commercialized and cheap. It really degrades the bowl. Speaking of bowls, which bowl name do you despise the most?
